The book pays close attention to the cultural context of stage playing, the critical language used about it, and the kinds of training and professional practice employed in the theatre at various times over the course of roughly one hundred years - 1558-1660. Perfect for courses, this up-to-date survey takes into account recent discoveries about actors and their social networks, about apprenticeship and company affiliations, and about playing outside the major centre of theatre, London. Astington considers the educational tradition of playing, in schools, universities, legal inns, and choral communities, in comparison to the work of the professional players. A comprehensive biographical dictionary of all major professional players of the Shakespearean period is included as a handy reference guide"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000436530 60010 $$aShakespeare, William,$$d1564-1616$$xStage history$$yTo 1625. 000436530 60010 $$aShakespeare, William,$$d1564-1616$$xStage history$$zEngland. 000436530 650_0 $$aTheater$$zEngland$$xHistory$$y16th century. 000436530 650_0 $$aTheater$$zEngland$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000436530 650_0 $$aActing$$xHistory$$y16th century. 000436530 650_0 $$aActing$$xHistory$$y17th century. 000436530 85200 $$bgen$$hPN2589$$i.A88$$i2010 000436530 85642 $$3Cover image$$uhttp://assets.cambridge.org/97805211/92507/cover/9780521192507.jpg 000436530 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1108/2010025719-b.html 000436530 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1108/2010025719-d.html 000436530 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1108/2010025719-t.html 000436530 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:436530$$pGLOBAL_SET 000436530 980__ $$aBIB 000436530 980__ $$aBOOK
